Like clockwork, my overzealous drive has cost me dearly. I purchased some of the components already, which included Windows Vista 64, only to find out that it doesn't work with the motherboard I'm buying. Changing the motherboard also means changing the RAM. Also, Windows Vista 64 apparently sucks really bad. Because I bought the OEM version, read: cheap, it cannot be sent back for a refund. So now I'm having to buy Windows Vista 32 in order to get my new computer to even work properly.

On the plus side, if I get the cheaper Core 2 Duo at 2.66GHz, the one that's actually in stock, and swipe my brother's extra 500W Blue Storm power supply, I end up not paying any more than I thought I would.

Soo...anyone looking to upgrade their OS?
